Comment 1 for bug 913221

Description of problem:
In both rpmdrake and gurpmi there is no error visible to the user indicating that the instllation of a package has failed in %pre.

In gurpmi the "Installing..." dialog just closes without any error, leading the user to think that the installation completed.

It's not so bad in rpmdrake as the orange download icon has not turned green and the check box is still unchecked, but it still should indicate that there was a problem and give some guidance.

I am currently developing a package which involves a download to complete in %pre - if this fails the user needs to know about it and not be left guessing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a package with "exit 1" in %pre
2. Click on the package to install it with gurpmi
3. Enter password
4. Installing dialog appears for a while then closes
5. No error message.

In rpmdrake :-
1. Add the package to a local repo
2. Try to install it with the GUI
3. Install looks normal
4. Then reverts to GUI in uninstalled state
5. No error message.
